This might be what I was looking for all along in a window manager. For the longest time, I’ve been dissatisfied with the drawbacks of both floating and tiling WMs, but hopefully this can deliver the best of both worlds.

Good. I can’t think of the curved screen as anything other than a nuisance.

And the GNOME project doesn’t just use C/C++ right? It uses Javascript for developing all sorts of components and Python for scripting/misc utilties. That’s what I meant by more memory-efficient.

You know, I’ve always read that COBOL projects still get maintained to this day because the costs of rewriting these projects just are too high. I wonder if there’s a cutoff point where maintaining them starts costing more than the rewrite. I just don’t see how organizations can justify maintaining these projects without these kind of changes forever.

I’m incredibly interested in COSMIC DE! For multiple different reasons, actually.

1. Rust - I’m very interested to see how performant/memory-efficient this DE will be compared with other DEs. Also, I wonder how the Iced toolkit will evolve and be adopted in other projects.
2. Benefits over GNOME - I’m looking forward to seeing how much out-of-box customizability and features come with COSMIC over GNOME (which I’m currently using).
3. Maintainability going forward - Since the DE basically started from scratch and is using a much better language for robust software, I wonder how much easier and faster it would be to maintain the desktop environment. This potential improved maintainability could be huge in overtaking other DEs sometime soon.

Yeah that makes sense. I guess I’m just a little surprised that I haven’t seen any official announcement from Infinity yet.

Does anyone know if Infinity for Reddit is shutting down too?

I just thought they were called “communities”. At least, that’s what the Lemmy UI shows.

Yeah that looks great!

I can try

Yeah hopefully it becomes better. The biggest problem for me so far is the choppy scrolling.
